SMcCandlish (talk | contribs) →Capital letters: Rather than add any more "don't capitalize this" line-items, just give the general rule from the lead of MOS:CAPS. |
SMcCandlish (talk | contribs) →Dates and numbers: There is no rule to use "AD 400" order, and "400 AD" format actually dominates in usage on Wikipedia. Clarify (a lot) on the "one, two, ..." line. Better to link to MOS:NUM than [[MOS:#Numbers]], because the latter glosses over too much and needs to be rewritten to re-summarize the former better. |

{{xt|400 AD}} (or {{xt|AD 400}}) and {{xt|400 BC}} are correct; but so are {{xt|400 CE}} and {{xt|400 BCE}}. As always, use one style consistently in an article. {{Manual of Style/More|NUM#Year numbering systems}}
